It’s been a long, exhausting and exciting ride for Siskiyou County Republican Central Committee Chairman Don Schweitzer and the rest of the Siskiyou County republicans in Tampa for the Republican National Convention, “but people are really fired-up,” he added.

Schweitzer said he continues to be impressed that many of the speakers at the convention have resisted the urge to focus on negative, attack politics. He said, in his opinion, the party is shifting away from negativity and focusing its sights on their platform and goals and defining the differences between the GOP vision for the country and that of President Obama.

“I’d be surprised if you’d see much more negative campaigning from the party after this,” he said.

Schweitzer was impressed with the high profile speakers of Wednesday night, including Ann Romney and Paul Ryan. He said all of the speakers were consistent in their portrayal of Mitt Romney as an even-tempered, highly accomplished and less divisive figure than the current president.

Schweitzer also said he was looking forward to hearing from actor/director Clint Eastwood, who he said would be Thursday night’s surprise speaker, noting that Eastwood’s dry humor and political experience will likely appeal to the crowd.

“It’s been a very impressive event, and very inspiring. We’ll all be leaving here tomorrow with a great sense of accomplishment,” Schweitzer said.
